Colors - 3KCBWDAY1

Its time for Knitting and Crochet Blog Week again ... and I almost missed it (well I am a day behind), LOL!! The topic for today is Colors. I think I am a fairly rounded out person when it comes to colors. As I look through my stash I see a lot of colors, but can't quite put my finger on a theme. I know purple and green are some of my favorite colors, but I also see yellow, blue, brown, black, red, orange, pink, teal .. shall I continue? LOL!
I guess if I had to put my finger on it I would say I lean towards jewel tones, deep, dark, rich colors as opposed to primary or pastel.
Can you pick out a particular color that is in abundance (besides purple :o)?

My Angora Bunny!

Saturday we met with a breeder and put a deposit down on an English Angora bunny. He's not old enough to go home yet.


He is so sweet and such a snuggler!


He is a Harlequin. White is better for spinning because you can dye it any color, but he really is a pet first and fiber producer second and I love his colors!

Angora Rabbit Spinning

No we're not spinning a bunny ... well kind of ...

At the monthly meeting of my local Knitters Guild a woman came with an angora bunny. She showed us the bunny and how she spins. She explained some details about keeping and breeding the bunnies as well. I so want one. We have "regular" bunnies as pets. After I showed my husband some angora yarn and the pics of the bunny, he replied, hey what's one more???

Valentine is a very large German Albino Angora bunny.


She is very compliant in being plucked.


Her fur is so soft and luscious!


How appropriate for the coming holiday of Easter?
